Luxury Kona private charters aboard Callisto.
Callisto
Callisto is our 32 ft center console designed for speed, safety, comfort, and an incredibly smooth ride. Her name comes from a killer whale in the pacific northwest (T65A6), who was named after the hunting partner of Artemis, the greek goddess of the hunt. Equipped with twin 350 Yamahas, Callisto is perfect for exploring inshore reefs or pushing offshore into the deep. This luxury 6-person vessel has a restroom, fresh water shower, padded seats, and a custom boarding ladder for easy access in and out of the water. With plenty of waterproof storage, there’s room for guests and their extra gear and equipment onboard. 360-degree viewing and a full walk-around also add to a premier experience.
Riding on Callisto feels like exploring Hawaii with friends (if your friends were top-tier pelagic guides and expert boat captains). Great for the global traveler or family adventure, our tours aboard provide a truly personalized experience. Explore Kona’s coast in comfort and style on a boat that’s youthful and fun, just like T65A6.
